I'm not sure, is there Lime Plaster in Nigeria? Lime plaster will give a better workability and finish than OPC. Lime plaster is breathable so no fear of cracking when dried.

Guys, please help my client select the best look to his new house,

1st picture: The 3d rendition from the original architect (we didn't like the look)

2nd picture: A picture my client picked and loves for me to use it to replace the first picture.

3rd picture: The new design I worked out with my architect (Phildecasa) so we can use it to replace 1 and 2.

The question now is which of the views should we use, which do you think looks better for this house we are just starting to build?

Thanks for your comments.

We can do lime plaster but it's not as solid other forms of plaster. A little bit P.V.A binder could be added to give it strength. It would give a very smooth and breathable finish though.

You're on point sir, that's same block my friend used for his project..... Will get my next set of blocks from there too

90k 4 sittings, 140k 6 sittings, not instock it will be build for you, and deliver it to ibadan, how many do you need sir?

diordaves:


Good to know. We use lime plaster intensively here with fantastic outcome. In some historical buildings, Building Control will stipulate the use of lime plaster only or the building will not pass so can't be insured and no mortgage approval.

Great.

Please show pictures of previous builds.

Good day House, please we just discovered that my already installed bathroom door should swing outwardly instead of inward cos of space, and the installer said to change the direction the door swings to, the door frames needs to be repositioned which will cause a lot of damages (including the wall tiles).
Please is there any possibility that this changes could be made (changing the direction the door swings to) without damaging much so as to avert much expenses.

Weldone to the big bosses in here. The quality of Blocks being sold presently is given me concern and am looking at producing vibrated blocks for my project myself. Can I get recommendation on block molding machines, which type is better, and where it can be purchased. I am based in Ibadan.

obagoally:

Thank you for the suggestion. Apata is a bit far frm my side (Kasumu Estate, Odo-ona Elewe). Maybe I will also consider speaking to a producer if the block quality can be improved on.

Fall in cement price. Now #2900 at my end.

You are right. Plaster will make for better workability. But quick set cement is also commonly used for jointing.

Using fiberglass mesh provides a form of reinforcement to guard against cracks. Also paper tapes hides any cracks that may occur.

my brother house is in that estate as well. You can get good blocks from the man selling at the entrance of the first gate. You can tip him to make stronger blocks for you. Good luck on your project

Would you dress your concrete cast fascia with plastering before roofing commences to avoid interference or just do a complete roofing and then a complete plastering of the entire building when set?
Am getting conflicting opinions from my caretaker, architect and site engineer.

Do you need to tip/bribe someone to get him produce quality product?

Is better you complete roofing before plastering the concrete fascia because if it is vice versa the plastering will be defaced.

Nigerian ingenuity, these guys are now converting 1924 Mercedes trucks to tippers. They do this by building a bigger bucket for the truck locally, then fitting the trucks with tipping mechanism after upgrading the engine functions. They do all these locally. The trucks are now popular and supplies sand and stones to many locations in the Eastern parts of Nigeria. I hired this one to supply me sharp sand in our Awka site.

@ Chekitaut, do you think this is up to 20 tons?
